Acerca de este libro electrónico

Reverend Yorick, Ich-Erzähler und Alter Ego des Autors, bricht aus gesundheitlichen Gründen zu einer Reise nach Frankreich und Italien auf. Er mietet eine Kutsche, engagiert einen Diener und kommt auf seiner Reise nicht weit über Paris hinaus, als der Text unvermittelt endet. In einer Reihe von höchst unterhaltsamen Episoden lässt Sterne den Leser teilhaben an den Erlebnissen des Ich-Erzählers Yorick, seinen sinnlichen Eindrücken und seelischen Empfindungen, die seine meistenteils erotischen Abenteuer begleiten, wobei diese Abenteuer nur selten über den Stand einleitender Vorbereitungen hinauskommen.

Acerca del autor

Laurence Sterne (1713-1768) was an Anglo-Irish novelist and clergyman whose innovative narrative techniques and irreverent humor left an indelible mark on the literary world. Born in Clonmel, Ireland, Sterne's early life was marked by instability, moving frequently due to his father's military career. He attended Jesus College, Cambridge, where he was ordained as a clergyman, a role he maintained throughout his life despite his often controversial writings.Sterne's most famous work, "The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman," revolutionized the novel with its digressive style, breaking the fourth wall and addressing the reader directly. This groundbreaking approach influenced a plethora of writers, from James Joyce to Virginia Woolf, and is often seen as a precursor to modernist and postmodernist literature.Sterne's personal life was as unconventional as his writing. His flirtations and rumored affairs, particularly with younger women, scandalized his contemporaries. His health was a constant battle; he suffered from tuberculosis, which ultimately claimed his life at the age of 54.Despite his clerical position, Sterne's works often challenged the moral and social norms of his time, blending wit and sentimentality in a manner that was both entertaining and thought-provoking. His exploration of human emotions, combined with his satirical edge, provided a fresh perspective that resonated with readers and critics alike.Laurence Sterne remains a pivotal figure in literary history, celebrated for his daring creativity and his ability to blend humor with profound human insight. His legacy endures, inspiring writers and captivating readers with his unique voice and visionary storytelling.
